Anyone have a Gibson Cat-Back on pre-97 ?
Well now that I have my new Pirelli tires, I have traction so I need a little more power to the ground 
I have a 93 F-150 2WD 5.0 Flare Side. It's all stock engine wise except for a K&N
drop-in. I want the truck to sound tougher and get a few more HP. I was going to buy a BORLA but they are just to much $$$$ for me. So I have been looking at the Gibson Split Rear system. I can't use the super truck one because I would have to cut my ground effects and I sure don't want to do that. So how about it any pre-97s out there with the Split Rear system ? If so what do you think about it ? I also wouldn't mind hearing from 97up owners with the system. So all comments are welcome !
Thanks

BMW325: I also own a 1993 Ford pickup w/ the 302. In December of 1997 my factory tailpipe and muffler choked its last chug. It fell of in my driveway. So I decided it was time for a new system, I wanted duals on the rig with Echo tips. I looked at a cat-back system at several places and decided that I would get the same results cheaper if I had duals w/o mufflers. I feel that I did good. I opted for 2 1/4" Stainless Steel-which cost $150 installed and then later added the tips which cost me about $35/piece. I am sure that Gibson, Flowmaster, and other manufactorers know what they are doing, but I liked my price better. Then about a year later I went replaced my factory manifolds with Summit Headers. I hope I got a good deal with them, because I only paid $159. I hope that I did give you some advice worth 2 cents.
